Q: My sister in-law recently gave me a Canon EOS 10D digital camera body. Having only used point and shoot cameras, what would be a good beginners lens to get for this camera? Should I get kit lens to start with?

This is the new Lewis and Clark lookout tower in Woodriver IL. From the top balcony you can see the St.Louis city scape, and Arch, St. Charles Mo. the two great rivers Missouri, and the Mississippi comming together. Alton IL. and the Shell oil refiners and so much more. This is for you Richard ( The great Historian)

Shirley -- First, this is a most handsome photo. This should be sold to the Illinois Dept. of Tourism for placement on the official highway map. It is outstanding!

Thank you very much for your tribute. We drove the entire Lewis & Clark Trail over two summers, 2001-02. Little did we know that most of the explorers made camp on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River (opposite St. Louis) during the Winter of 1802-03. But, when we learned that they did, we crossed the Mississippi to East St. Louis and turned north and drove along the eastern bank of the Mississippi until we found the encampment. (It looked a little like Stonehenge.) We had no idea that the lookout tower was in the works, but now we have another good reason to visit St. Louis.

Gee Wizz, I should have looked ahead to see this before I asked if you had any images of the entrire monument...What a impeccable shot..lighting is perfect...GREAT Tribute to the expedition and to King Richard...Love his comment..always so informative..
